Obama Released 52K Illegal Alien Kids Into the US in FY2016

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement released another 52,147 illegal alien children into the United States in fiscal year 2016, averaging about 149 per day. Processed as “refugees,” these children are in many cases sent to a family member who are also here illegally. Now that the children are refugees they will be permitted to remain in the U.S., and they will be afforded benefits and services.

The number of children released in FY2016 is about twice the amount released in FY2015 (27,840).

States with the highest influx of unaccompanied children were California, Florida, New York, Maryland, Texas and Virginia.

In 2014, President Obama said the children coming in through the border would not be permitted to stay. This proves to be yet another lie in a long list of lies from President Obama.
